Well, good luck to you, Nick. Don’t expect that you can get the lowest premium rates if you have an Arizona DUI on your record. You may anticipate paying as much as double than drivers with unblemished driving histories. Most insurance companies check a driver’s motor vehicle record only once every three years or when you’re applying for a new policy. Sometimes, drunk-driving convictions, accidents and tickets can escape your insurer’s attention or don’t end up on your motor vehicle record. But if your insurer finds out about your DUI conviction, you are likely to feel the pinch of higher rates and possibly policy cancellation or non-renewal.

I suggest you shop around so that you can yield the lowest rate for your car insurance in Arizona, as they vary greatly. Hope you find the lowest rate that would help you wipe your desperation about getting  cheap insurance in Arizona after your DUI.
